Key 1: Clarity
"Have vision. Determine what you want to be, do or have in life. Have a senses pf direction and know where you're going. If you do not have a clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do."
~ Everyone should have an idea what to do, yet there ideas can change due to others or events. It's hard to do what you want to do cause of the things you would have to prepare. An example is me. I wanna focus in the arts. yet I know that would not help me in the long run. That is what makes the choice to either try to enjoy life or to make sure you can even live in life. You have the people who support you and those who want you go past and do more so you do not struggle in life. That is something that can stop someone.
Key 2; Competence
"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get.
~It is pretty much like practicing, the more you practice the better you can get. That is how the world works now anyways. I you want to survive you need to be really good at something to make sure you make your way to the top. If you make connections with other people then there can be multiple opportunities ahead for you. Like for me I have connections on Instagram and I am good at drawing. Which could be good later on.
Key 3: Concentration
"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself "Is this the best use of my time?" before starting anything.
~When we have things we tend to get distracted. It can be hard to focus on one thing for a long time, that the thing that we are doing it ends up bad. Or when we are suppose to be doing something we decide to do something else. This is when we should ask "Is this the best use of my time?" It is not a thing that is easy to do. Its a temptation that we all get that can be hard to fight against. Like wanting to do something else instead of the work at hand.
Key 4: Common Sense
- Train your mind
- think things through
- listen to your intuition
- learn fro setbacks
~Common sense is something all people have or should have. Sometimes we do not use it which can get us in a bad situation. It is a simple thing we should all use that we must improve to even get a better understanding of our selves. Sometimes people tell me that I do not have common sense which dose not help with my confidence. People should support each other to improve and help with common sense.
Key 5: Creativity
"Except the fact that every human being is a genius. The hall mark of creativity is asking questions. The people who are the most creative ask the most questions."
~Creativity is something we all should have and need. Without it there would be no fun or we would all be doing the same plain thing. Ones creativity can lead to many possibility We just need to find out to have those ideas. Being creative inst bad.
Key 6: Considerations
"The quality of your relationships with other people will determine your success in life."
"Develop the people skills you need to become a better communicator. Take courses in listening, speaking, etc."
"If you were to learn one new word a day, within 5 years, you’ll be the best educated person in history."
~We should take the time to consider things. Consider things in life the things you are doing to the time you are spending with people. To see the extent of your choices and what they could do. Consideration careful thought, typically over a period of time. That's why we should be careful with the time you have or else it can go to waste.
Key 7: Consistency
"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast spurts of work."
"Be consistent in your relationships, your family, friends, your boss. your work. Be the person that
people can depend upon. That if you say you'll do something you do it."
~We should be showing our work and how we work always provide your effort, keep it good and positive. This allows people to show what your made of. To think high of yourself and show people what you can do.
Key 8: Commitment
"No success is possible without commitment. The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success."
"Become totally absorbed in your work. Be totally committed."
~I you have an idea or goal don't just think it do it. If you do that then you will never do or finish the thing you wanted to do. You would be throwing your shot away to do the thing you wanted to d o. Yet you must make sure you do it the right way or else you could not get the results you want.
Key 9: Courage
"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."
This is something we all need yet, we rarely try to use it. We try to speak out about situations ,but we always hid. We never truly show our self like on line bulling. We hide (not me specifically). Or if we see something or someone that could use help we don't but we must use the courage to help it could make a change.
Key 10: Confidence
"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again."
Confidence is not easy, not all people are the same. Sometimes it's hard to get confidence, to speak out, confess or tell the truth. Yet we need it it or we would never see how far it goes. Even for the little things or to stand up for ourselves. Confidence is need to pursue things and survive.
~These 10 keys can benefit us ,because they each state things that are important for us to know like having courage, confidence ,commitment and creativity. The keys that I am trying to use are confidence, creativity, consistency, common sense and commitment. I will try and use them more often to get the things I needed done. To be a better person.
